Hillside Retreat

Property Details

Hillside Retreat is a stylish one-bedroom condo in a gated community on St. Thomas's Northside, one of the quieter, greener parts of the island that most visitors never make it to. The private balcony looks out over a lush valley, which makes it a pretty great spot for morning coffee or an evening beverage. Magens Bay is just a few minutes down the road, and the Northside has a handful of local coffee shops and restaurants worth checking out. It's a low-key area with easy access to the beach without the crowds you'd find closer to town.

Inside, the condo is updated and comfortable, the kind of place that actually feels livable rather than staged. It works well for couples or anyone traveling solo, and there's enough space that you won't feel like you're tripping over your suitcase. You're also only a 15-minute drive to Red Hook and the STJ ferry!

Island Tings:
This is a tropical island. Lizards may sneak inside (they help with bugs), and you'll likely see a few wild critters from your balcony. We have monthly pest control and recommend keeping doors closed to avoid extra guests.

Important to Note:
While the condo itself is completely private, you may encounter vendors who service the property like a landscaper or pest control. They are both managed by the association.
